Is Immersive mode and transparent mode automatically on the HTC One M8? If not how do you turn this feature on?

Immersive mode has to be implemented by the developer of the app. HTC can't do anything about YouTube (just an example) not writing the code into their app, it's on YouTube's shoulders.
Also you can't change the transparency of the on screen buttons. Might be able to by rooting and flashing a custom kernel/rom, but you'd have to do more research yourself

Is "Immersive Mode" what it's called when an app goes completely fullscreen (i.e status bar and on screen buttons going away)? If so, thank you for putting a name to the feature! Any insight on why the youtube app sometimes would show a video full screen, vice with status bar and menu buttons?
Yes, imerssive mode is when an app goes full screen. I hope more devolpers update their apps soon for this feature.
As for YouTube, that's up to Google to fix, I had this problem on my Nexus 5 too. Though I did just read somewhere that if the buttons are showing up, you can double tap the video and they'll go away. Haven't tried it myself yet though, so not sure if it works.
same here. sometimes you need to double tap for them to go away.
since we are on that same topic, does anyone know what that little faded icon in the status bar means when you are playing a youtube video? its a light gray icon with what looks to be a circle with ripple effects around it.

What is not understood is that there is a bug with Sence 6 that does not allow the immersive mode to always work.
For example, in YouTube, yes it works well, unless the bug shows up. Double tapping doesn't help remove the black bar in such a case. The buttons go away but not the black bar that takes up screen real estate.

Are you talking about the boom sound icon? It also shows up if your listening to music.
No. It was three on my EVO LTE as well. Besides I'm watching a video, not listening to music
